Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 416: This Is a Night Destined to Be Sleepless!
Xiao He's birthday celebration concluded perfectly.
When Xiao He, with the first-person perspective camera, cut the large cake wheeled onto the stage, when Xiao He bowed with all the performers of the night to thank the audience, when colorful streamers bloomed in the sky, this birthday celebration was destined to add a glorious stroke to Xiao He's career history.
Almost everyone present left feeling thoroughly satisfied.
Especially the final stage play performance of "Twelve Mirrors." It not only left a deep impression on all the audience members present but also directly propelled topics related to Xiao He, making the live stream shoot straight to the real-time Hot Search list!
[Xiao He Birthday Celebration - EXPLOSIVE]
[Xiao He "Twelve Mirrors" - EXPLOSIVE]
[Xiao He Plays Twelve Roles Solo - EXPLOSIVE]
There were no flashy, flowery praises, no messy, suggestive comments, only pure heat and the character "EXPLOSIVE" tightly following these trending topics.
And whether it was the viewers in the live stream or the audience on-site, after the birthday celebration ended, the first thing they discussed was also this stage play.
No one had high expectations for him, yet he was the one who delivered the most impressive performance.
[That was so satisfying! Brother Xiao's peak acting moment, who else in the industry can seamlessly switch between twelve roles? Step up for a one-on-one! I'm standing right here tonight, let's see who dares to talk smack.]
[Seriously, bro, how can he be this awesome? Did he really perform all twelve characters in one go? And without changing costumes, without makeup support, even just sitting in a chair? How on earth did Xiao He dare to do this? This was a Single Continuous Take! Did he truly believe he could pull it off?]
[No need to say anything else, Brother Xiao was purely showing off his skills, directly grinding the industry competitors into the dust. No need for words, just one character: cool!]
[Am I the only one who genuinely loved the stage performance of "Twelve Mirrors"? That final scene with the twelve personalities looking in the mirror was absolutely spine-tingling.]
[The original version of "Twelve Mirrors" had stage floor mechanisms; the mirrors on stage could rotate. But obviously, this stage couldn't achieve that effect. However, using light and shadow changes to switch the on-stage characters was also a viable solution. And Xiao He's acting was truly phenomenal; the level of awe after watching it was no weaker than the original.]
[Whoa, that big shot above who has seen the original at the opera house actually came out to share their perspective? But I never expected that a big shot would also watch Xiao He's birthday celebration live stream?]
[The birthday celebration live stream is free to watch, why couldn't I watch it? Besides, after watching Xiao He's version of "Twelve Mirrors," I decided to become a Xiao He fan. Brother Xiao is amazing!]
[Did the Little Box fan just welcome another epic-level hero? Interesting.]
[Who has the recording? Who has the recording? This kid was dragged to a family dinner by the family, missed the live stream, and now wants to find a place to swing from a noose. Who can save this poor child?]
[For the recording, you can go to @XiaoHeFanSupportClub. They should be uploading it. Both the live stream version and the on-site version will be available eventually.]
[Wow, thank you, kind soul.]
The online discussions about this birthday celebration were extensive, and most of them focused on "Twelve Mirrors," especially the clip of Xiao He seamlessly switching between twelve personalities on stage, which directly dominated Bilibili's Hot Search rankings.
This night, anyone who opened Bilibili was bound to see Xiao He's birthday celebration performance!
Various bloggers were even more exaggerated. Seizing the rare tail-end of Spring Festival holiday traffic, they worked overtime overnight to write articles and edit videos, starting to analyze frame-by-frame the entire stage performance of "Twelve Mirrors" and provide acting appreciation content for Xiao He.
This was pretty much standard practice for these entertainment-focused bloggers. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Meanwhile, off-stage, as expected, Xiao He received everyone's praise and cheers.
"Holy crap, that was really just one person!"
Lin Yipeng directly reached out to pinch Xiao He's cheek, but Xiao He swatted his hand away in annoyance. "It's me, not a ninja. I can't just conjure up twelve clones."
"Ah, I suddenly regret something."
Lin Yipeng suddenly began to feel regretful. "I shouldn't have just asked you for investment. I should have directly tied you up to play my male lead."
Originally designated male lead, Pu Rong: ?
Hello, when you discuss this, could you maybe do it behind someone's back?
He's still right here!!!
Xiao He couldn't help but laugh. "Forget it, Director Lin. You'd better turn around and look at your male lead first. Be careful he doesn't put a sack over your head when you leave."
Lin Yipeng turned his head and indeed met Pu Rong's gaze.
Immediately, he tactfully shrugged. "I was joking."
On the other side, Shu Han watched the bustling scene over there, his face actually revealing a touch of melancholy.
His agent, He Wenming, walked over from the side and stood beside him.
Seeing the commotion over there, he seemed to understand where Shu Han's sadness came from. "What's wrong? Stunned by Xiao He's performance?"
Shu Han gave a wry smile, his eyes full of self-mockery. "I really am getting old, far from keeping up with the younger generation's pace."
Before, he and Xiao He could still compete for roles together, their acting skills were on par, the only difference was in script comprehension. But now?
Performing twelve personalities on stage in one go?
Xiao He dared to do it, but he did not.
Xiao He could do it, but he could no longer.
At some point, that young man's acting skills had climbed another level, leaving him, a former competitor, far behind in the dust...
After watching Xiao He's stage performance, Shu Han even felt, for a moment, that his fighting spirit deflated.
Sometimes, when people strive to improve and work hard seriously, it might rely on that very fighting spirit.
Once that fighting spirit dissipates, then a person is mostly finished, their future bleak.
Fortunately, remembering that Xiao He was an artist brought up by Liu Rulan, and also remembering that Xiao He was the boss of his own company, Shu Han managed to hold that breath back in with great effort.
Being in close contact with Xiao He, witnessing his progress up close, it really was easy to make one's artistic conviction shatter...
Shu Han shook his head, then turned to He Wenming and said, "Let's head back first."
He Wenming glanced over there. "Not going to say hello?"
"No need. They seem pretty busy."
Shu Han said.
"Mhm."
He Wenming then quietly left with Shu Han.
However, while riding back to Shanghai in the car, He Wenming suddenly said to Shu Han, "If it were He Jinnian, he would also be relieved."
Shu Han was stunned for a moment, not immediately understanding what He Wenming meant by that, but then he realized something and turned to look at He Wenming.
He Jinnian, He Wenming's former artist, before his career transition, was already among the top tier of domestic actors, having won awards both domestically and internationally, possessing numerous achievements, already a leading figure in the acting circle.
Yet He Wenming said He Jinnian would also be relieved.
Relieved about what?
What was there to be relieved about...
Shu Han fell into a long silence.
"Perhaps..."
Relieved that he had already transitioned his career, relieved that he didn't need to compete on the same stage with such a naturally gifted, astonishingly capable genius actor, didn't need to struggle and contend with such an actor, didn't need to feel despair or have his artistic conviction shattered because of his own "stagnation."
That young man was simply a monster.
This night, how many people watched that stage play performance video, were shocked by his talent, then tossed and turned, unable to sleep a wink throughout the night.
